The first method is using Hyper-v Manager to convert vhd to vhdx. Do it like the below step by step guides. (Trim requires physical disks directly attached to a virtual machine or SCSI disks, and trim-compatible hardware.)Ĭonvert VHD to VHDX with hyper-v manager is the graphical method and is easy for beginner to Virtualization with hyper-v. Efficiency in representing data (also known as “trim”), which results in smaller file size and allows the underlying physical storage device to reclaim unused space.The ability to store custom metadata about the file that the user might want to record, such as operating system version or patches applied.A 4-KB logical sector virtual disk that allows for increased performance when used by applications and workloads that are designed for 4-KB sectors.Larger block sizes for dynamic and differencing disks, which allows these disks to attune to the needs of the workload.The VHDX format also provides the following features:
Improved alignment of the virtual hard disk format to work well on large sector disks.Protection against data corruption during power failures by logging updates to the VHDX metadata structures.Support for virtual hard disk storage capacity of up to 64 TB.So here I’m going to show you how to convert VHD to VHDX using Hyper-v manager and PowerShell command line.īefore starting conversion process, once read the benefits and new features of VHDX from Hyper-V Virtual Hard Disk Format Overview The main new features of the VHDX format are: But in Windows Server 2012, Microsoft has changed the VHD format to VHDX, like the old file documents (.doc) to. Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) is the hard disk format of Microsoft Hyper-v, a compatible hard disk format with Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-v server 2008.
